statute 【statute】n.成文法；法规The statute increased the taxes we must pay.法律提高了我们必须付的税。

Accepted Answer

['stætʃuːt] 
statutean act passed by a legislative body
A statute is a formal law or rule. Whether it's enacted by a government, company, or other organization, a statute is typically written down.
Local governments can pass all kinds of statutes, or written laws, to govern their citizens. A city's government might try to restrict the consumption of alcoholic beverages in public, or make it illegal to pet cats on the weekends. Of course, silly statutes like no cat-petting on weekends can be pretty hard to pass.

  Look  under the pigeons and you might find a bronze statue in a park, but there's probably a statute, or law, about how big it can be. 
A statue is a figure of a person, animal, or object that is carved or cast  from some material, such as marble or iron. A statue is usually  life-sized or larger. (If it's smaller than the real-life original, it's a statuette or a figurine). Here are some examples of statue in the headlines:

Bronze statue unveiled in tribute to Ronnie Barker (Mirror  UK)
  
    Rosa Parks statue dedicated in downtown Grand Rapids (Michigan  Live)

But  a statute is a written law, such as that of a particular government or  organization:

Fifteen  other states and the District of Columbia have since enacted similar statutes,  though cannabis remains classified as an illegal narcotic under U.S. law. (Reuters)
  All  were also discharged within the past six years, putting them within the statute of limitations. (New York Times)

Both  words come from the Latin word "to stand," but a statue literally stands, often on two legs, and a statute is a law that stands. So while  you might find a statue in the park  of, say, Jimi Hendrix, it's the statutes about that park that allow a monument to the rock star to be erected there.
